Review: Stunning 10/10 - I never write desertcart reviews, but this product absolutely deserves 5 stars. Flawlessly transforms almost any surface into an unbelievably realistic wood texture. The process is easy and much quicker than alternatives (mostly just waiting for coats to dry and can be completed in 3-5 hours depending on the scale of the project). Most of the negative reviews seem to be based off of user error. Watch some videos on YouTube and make sure to layer up to your desired tone and texture. Long and consistent strokes across the length of the surface are key to success. The only downside is this bundle does not include a polycrylic sealant, so make sure to pick some up before you start your project or you’ll be scrambling last minute for it. I’ve used this on wood, plastic, and even stiff non stretch fabric and they’ve all turned out flawlessly. With just a pinch of artistry, and retique it is an unstoppable force of design ease. 10/10
Review: Game Changer - This product is a game changer for elevating pieces quickly! It took me two nights to fully refinish our bathroom vanity (see before and after pictures). For a product that only cost $50, I was pleasantly surprised!! I now don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars to replace a functional vanity for aesthetic reasons. However, the one drawback is the staining process. After adding the retique it liquid wood and letting it dry, I followed the exact directions for the stain. After applying, letting it sit, then wiping the stain off twice, like the directions called for, I noticed no noticeable difference in the color. I had to get creative and paint it on with a brush and then just let it dry. That was the only way it would actually work, which was different from the directions. I was barely able to stain the entirety of the vanity before I ran out of stain, but I think if I didn’t needlessly wipe off the product at the start, then we would have been fine. Overall, I think this is a great product if you want to easily upgrade a piece of furniture. I’m hoping it holds up well!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From scrap to perfection
*by E***T on 25 April 2023*

I can’t recommend this product more!!! I made a video just admiring this product on my instagram account because I believe in it sooo much! Super easy to use. Fast drying. Clear directions. Very affordable. You are missing out if you haven’t tried this product. We were quoted 10k to replace everything before I stumbled upon this cost saving product . You have to try it!
